A view down 8th St. (I think) toward the National Gallery of Art (the dome at the end of the street, I think). Sorry, I should have paid more attention to where I was standing when I took this.
There are cranes everywhere in D.C.; this one is standing right next to another that didn't make it into the frame. I'm told there are more cranes here than in other cities but since I haven't visited any other cities for such a long time I can't really say. Oh, and check out that ugly building looming on the left side of the street—the FBI building is everywhere.
